From the production of experiences to the development of new business and value models in the field of Art and Advanced Technologies. Onassis ONX /AiR Open Days 2024 presents a series of talks, discussions and masterclasses held both in relation to the visual and interpretive dimension of digital works and the way they generate value, both monetary and symbolic.

By mobilizing the Onassis ONX and Onassis AiR communities, we are looking for digital artisans, creative programmers, technicians, producers, distributors and creative industry professionals who build entire worlds and present them to the public in their own unique way.

The theme of Radical Intimacy initiates a series of artistic and interdisciplinary discussions, but also a search for strategies and tactics for the production and distribution of digital and immersive work. We explore innovative intersections of art, technology and critical thinking to challenge traditional narratives and allow for the presence of new perspectives in performance and presentation.

Audiovisual works, games, fashion, media, science and entertainment, all interact with artistic production and new technologies, exploring the boundaries of intimacy and relationships between different members of a physical and technological ecosystem.

How do we create value and generate revenue streams? How does this value find its way back to professionals in creative industries and, ultimately, how is the sustainability of projects ensured?

Content creation and design with AI technologies, the coexistence of dramaturgy and cutting-edge innovation, the production of experiences that recontextualize the role of the viewer into that of a creator, and distribution in festivals and digital channels, are some of the topics that will be discussed during this three-day event by internationally renowned professionals in the field.
